Uganda like many developing countries has the challenge of improving the social functioning of people who have conflicts with society. This state of affairs has been escalated by war, HIV/AIDS, poverty and others. As a result we have among us many orphans, HIV infected children women and men, medically impaired children, children with mental or physical handicaps, children in conflict with the law, the grossly neglected or discriminated children, war traumatised children, the elderly with little or no meaning to their lives.
African Jungles Safaris supports and plays an active role by working hand in hand with well intentioned busy people like you to link you to agencies both private and public as well as individuals to try and bring about positive change in the lives of these less fortunate people.
These people require the basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter, education, health care, socialization, recreation, and the need to be loved.
However, this will need great support from people like you. Come and see how you can change a life or lives of these people forever by taking part in our volunteer programmes.
No contribution is considered small as your support makes a big difference and it is this that greatly humbles us to know that you care. |
